47 minutes of peace and sensibility in a maddening modern world. Thanks for reminding us what our ancestors lives were like before it got all plastic and disposable. Thanks Tom x
PeppieP no argument regarding peace, but literally everything he digs up would have been considered disposable, they wouldn't be there if they weren't.
one suggestion i would make is that i would love to see MORE of the cleaned up artifacts at the end. seeing the plates cleaned and glued back together was awesum. there were several other things i would have enjoyed seeing clean as well. as always, love watching you neck deep in century old poop! kudos on the new channel, looking forward to more.
I would too but I imagine he has tons of glass bottles and plates that haven't been cleaned yet or if they ever will. However, it would be nice to see more detailed photos or videos of the ones that he does show at the end. I would keep watching.
If you ever find yourself in ne Ohio, I have 2 1860s houses, a hotel and saloon and train depot site steps from house. I’m too old to dig them, I wish you could! The neighbor has them surfacing in her back yard sometimes.
@@TomAskjem. Anytime ! Everything is still standing except the depot but we know where it stood. It drives me crazy thinking what must be down there lol
The little “pitcher” in the beginning is a cruet. They would use this for oil and vinegar. Maybe they would use one for the vinegar and one for the oil. This is so interesting. Even the bricks can tell you a lot. I learned there are actual brick collectors out there.
Is that rain I could hear in the background? Always enjoy watching you dig for the artifacts. Thanks again for a super show! Nice looking blue and white plates...ty for showing the cleaned up stuff...so cool.
I miss the music from your old videos - it set the mood for the frontier feeling. Thanks for taking us along Tom, we always watch your videos when they drop.
I can’t believe how much broken window glass you had to dig through. The kid rock destruction was a bummer. But I guess that’s how pits go, some great and some just a lot of digging for little return.
Enjoyed your digs Tom, I’m glad you found some good things around all of the broken glass. And am glad that you now have an awning to keep you dry, that weather in ND is so unpredictable of late. I look forward to your next video.
In many movies we see households and dinner tables and the most common dinner ware seems to have been the Blue Willow pattern, I guess that was Hollywood. You have dispelled a notion I have had for over 50 years 😮. Thank you for setting the record straight.
I absolutely love your RU-vid channel. I've always loved history matter fact. When I was In middle school through high school. I had strawdays and history. I love pretty much everything about it. Seeing your videos and all these things tells an amazing story. It's also why I love crystals and agates As well, because even rocks can tell a history. And it's just amazing, and it's really amazing. How things can be in the ground for hundreds even millions of years, and there's still in great shape. Thank you for sharing what you do I do enjoy your videos very much.
You find some really cool stuff. What I'd like to know is, do you save this stuff you find and add it to your collection if you have one. Or re bury afterwards?. Thanks for sharing with us. Enjoyed it very much.
Another fun one. Damn kids anyways. Looks like you might be in that area for a while. Hope you find more. We will be here to watch. Hope you're doing well. Take care. 😊
Tom, I know you already have plenty to do, but I wonder if with a little research if you could find the answer to if there had been a big storm at one time that broke a bunch of windows. Hail? Wind?....BTW great video! I really like you showing the shots of what the area looks like where you are digging, where buildings were and history about the town/site.
Yes please or a tour of your collection please!! Come dig with me in Pennsylvania, Titusville that is. Pit hole city! We have so much history and I know some ppl who will definitely allow us to dig there’s history here also.
I have less than 20 bottles in my personal collection. I’ve posted pictures of them on Facebook. If you go to my page (Tom Askjem) and search “apothecary phial” and “Comstock” you’ll see what I’ve posted about them. It’s quality not quantity for sure
Well done mate. Following for a while. You are amazing in that you find all those relics and that they are not lost to time any more. Thank you for bringing so much history to light. Absolutely awesome. Posterity thanks you. Cheers.
Tom, love that location, they has to be more there. Nice soil to dig in, are you there alone doing the camera as well? Very happy for you with your new direction. When is your book going to be available? Take care.👍👏😀
I really enjoy watching your channel, im impressed and applaud you for your honesty in dating your finds. Please keep digging because i do not subscribe to other bottle digging channels because its pretty obvious they haven't done their homework.
question for you when you think a pit is done do you ever take a small 2 to 3 foot rod and prob the sides just to make sure especially in a very old pit ? Also nice video
@@TomAskjem. Oh wow ! That's a bunch for sure. Your reply and answer is most appreciated Tom. I know you are very busy and have a large following for your channel. Much continued success with your endeavors and best regards !
Those kids must have been really bored to do this destructive. There was a mortician in Canada that didn't know what to do with the enbombing bottles. So he build his home, shed, garage, and a whole bunch of other buildings. All of the buildings were round. So everything had to be specially made for his home.
I didn’t end up with that piece. My video guy ended up with a lot of the finds. I’m hoping to start an online store at some point but haven’t had much free time
